What if you could unlock the mysteries of that persistent numbness in your fingers? Would you be eager to learn about the common culprit, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and the many factors that contribute to it? Dr. Edward Lin, our esteemed Chief of Hand Surgery at the Kayal Orthopaedic Center, is joining us to unravel the complexities of this condition. We'll first delve into understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and its association with the median nerve in the hand. We also tackle how conditions such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and even your job could be leading to the syndrome.
Often, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome gets confused with other conditions due to the numerous sites where the median nerve can experience compression. Hence, Dr. Lin enlightens us on the importance of accurate diagnosis and the role of diagnostic imaging in the process. We highlight the benefits of an EMG nerve conduction study and how it can depict the severity of the condition. We'll then navigate through a sea of treatment options—ranging from immobilizing the wrist joint, modifying activities, to exercises like tendon gliding, and even medications that can manage the symptoms.
We don't stop at conventional treatments. Dr. Lin walks us through fascinating alternative modalities like acupuncture and physical therapy. Hear about promising natural remedies like omega-3 fatty acids and Vitamin B6 complex antioxidants. We explore how early intervention leads to better results, and the potential risks of severe Carpal Tunnel Syndrome secondary to delayed treatment. Post-surgery recovery and the chances of recurrence are also discussed. All in all, we aim to provide you with exhaustive information to help you tackle Carpal Tunnel Syndrome effectively.
